Tonight we celebrated the non-profit Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) at their Sidewalks of New York event at City Winery in NYC. I’ve been involved with BBBS of NYC since 2018 though their workplace mentoring program at American Express and respect all the great things that they do!
BBBS’s Workplace Mentoring Program pairs high school students with professionals for one to one mentoring, similar to the full program in which the mentoring can begin at a younger age and extends past just a professional capacity in the workplace.
At the fundraiser, they raised over $2M, exceeding their goals for the night! The night was also filled with interviews with BBBS littles and bigs, performances from the Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra & Broadway’s Buena Vista Social Club and fun times with other bigs!
Ive really enjoyed my time volunteering with BBBS and excited for the future to come!
